A Grin without a Cat: Scenes of the Third World War 1967-1977

Known Unknowns film season
Part of Arnolfini's Old Media season, this season of films and videos focuses on the camera's role not only in recording events, but also in producing them. The lines between documentary and fiction, acting and being, thought and moving images, become fuzzy; suggesting that cinema has become a prosthetics for our memories, subjectivities and doubts.

Re-editing an enormous quantity of film, much of it taken under dangerous conditions during the activist struggles of the 1960s and early '70s, Marker - who always thinks about the condition of film as memory - presents a vivid picture of world unrest, denouncing 'governments, who would like us to have no memory'.
